“…These areas have undergone stronger geological and climatic changes. For example, the Sierra Madre del Sur was more humid at the end of the Pleistocene, but currently is composed by pine‐oak and dry forests (Ferrusquía‐Villafranca et al., ). The Transmexican Volcanic Belt is quite different from northern and southern Mexico, but at the terminal Pleistocene seems to have been very dry in many areas, with wetter conditions being established in the early Holocene (Metcalfe, ).…”

The Nearctic region is located on the North American plate. However, its tectonic history is related to convergence with other plates, which has promoted a complex topography. This complexity should be reflected by the distributional patterns of the biota. We used track analysis with 574 species of mammals to identify generalized tracks and panbiogeographic nodes in the Nearctic region and to propose an updated point of view of complex areas and their boundaries in North America. Seven generalized tracks with nested patterns (California, Columbia Plateau, Mesoamerican, Mexican Plateau, Neotropic, Southern Rocky Mountains, and Western Coast of USA) were identified using a parsimony analysis of endemicity with progressive character elimination. Nine panbiogeographic nodes were identified at the intersections of the generalized tracks, all of which were located in the Sierra of Chiapas and Central America physical features. A total of 192 nodes were identified for the nested patterns, located in only eight physical features. Our analysis revealed evolutionary patterns in generalized tracks, and the panbiogeographic nodes predicted areas with high evolutionary–geologic complexity, shared by other taxonomic groups.

In the 80's it was proposed that the extinct dire wolf, Canis dirus Leidy, 1858, was conformed by two subspecies: C. dirus dirus Leidy, 1858, which extended from the northeast of the United States to Canada and C. dirus guildayi Kurtén, 1984, which lived in Mexico and the western coast of United States. In Mexico, this classification was based mainly on specimens from the San Josecito Cave, Nuevo León. With the aim of evaluating the proposed taxonomic assignment of the mexican record we performed a morphometric analysis comparing the mexican material with specimens of both subspecies from United States. Mexico is the second region with the most abundant fossil record of this canid and, although most of the material is not well preserved, our results indicate that there are no differences between both subspecies, as a consequence the collected material from Mexico must be identified only as Canis dirus.
